The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

This is AC,
With Britney, Yea,

(This is another hot one)
Yea,
Hey yo, let me do my thing,
With a New York verse,
AC will make it hot,
Girl, remove your shirt,
I got my eyes closed,
You can do your dirt, (Hey)
By the way, do you still got that schoolgirl skirt?

Shot with a chaser like the paparazzi,
It's crazy, she's still on the top of the biz,
I'm with Brit, while K-fed watching the kids.

He was kinda like a summer fling,
Hot and heavy through the April rain,
May & June he was atfer me,
By July he was getting hypnotic,
So he kinda started being my babe,

All my girl say 'ooh' is you feel me,

Toxic, try to make you an example,
But me? I'm just trynna have your shoes in the air,
'Cause all the stress got me losing my hair, too,
Lets release, get live on the track,
Got my baby and the wheel, she can ride on my lap,
Put that one finger up, mami, guzzle some more,
Tell them the only issues you got is the covers you on. (Uh)

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
